Identify Magic

You can identify a magic item, ongoing spell effect, or magical phenomenon.

Requirements: Trained in the appropriate skill for the tradition.

Activity: 10 minutes (exploration activity). Attempt a check using the skill matching the item’s tradition:

• •Arcane → Arcana
• •Divine → Religion
• •Occult → Occultism
• •Primal → Nature

The DC is typically the DC by Level table based on the item’s level. If you can’t determine the tradition, you can try each skill in turn.

Critical Success You learn all attributes of the magic, including its name, what it does, and how to activate it.

Success You learn the above, but not cursed properties (which appear as the cursed item’s intended properties).

Failure You fail to identify the magic.

Critical Failure You misidentify the magic as something else (GM’s choice).
